Add startpage?

[jdsmf]

I just installed this on both my piholes, but it is not yet working. Is this because it is cached, and takes time to flush out the duckduckgo address?

Also, is it possible to add startpage to the list?

Thanks !

1. What version of Pi-hole are you using? 2. What is your upstream resolver? 3. Is there anything in your hosts file? 4. What does /etc/dnsmasq.d/restrict.conf (may not be exact filename but you should be able to find it) look like? I can definitely take a look at startpage for you :)

Hi Jayke,

Thanks for following up. Answers, in order:

1. v.5.0

2. The VPN DNS for PIA: 209.222.18.222 and 209.222.18.218

3. I believe it is just the defaults:
   127.0.0.1 localhost
   ::1 localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
   ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
   ff02::2 ip6-allrouters

4. This looks the way it should. It is a little long, but the first few lines are:

Thanks for that information! I will try that out tonight and report back to you with my findings. Something could have changed with recent Pi-hole updates, so my script may need to be updated. What does a dig on localhost do for google.com? Jayke Peters jaykepeters@gmail.com +1 (320) 428-0505

By "localhost", I assume you mean on the pihole. If so, that gives:
pi@unifipi:/etc/dnsmasq.d $ dig google.com

Any progress?

@jdsmf My apologies. Are we still having issues, or were those resolved, and now we just want Startpage added? I've been working many hours a week, so I have put coding/projects to the side temporarily, but I did see your message there and did not forget! Always in the back of my mind ;)

[jdsmf]

Actually, I think that it works now. It might have just taken time for the cache in my browsers to flush out with the old DNS.

I also looked into safe search with Startpage. It might not be so simple, since it works by settings, and not by domain.

[jaykepeters]

That’s good to hear! As for startpage that may not be so good, but I am always looking for other search providers that offer DNS-enforced safesearch.
